Magic Band Restock

I just made a post about this today. Didn’t realize a thread already existed. I’m waiting for more to appear. I’d like a non solid color one.

I saw that Tinkerbell green one and almost bought it! I ended up buying the ombre orange, but the Tinkerbell green is super cute, too.

I really liked the orange one, too!!! It was a hard decision. I have another reservation I could use to buy another MB, but I really don't need another, right???

Really looking for a re-release of the Tigger magic band from yearrs ago. They went fast and haven't been seen since - not even ebay!

Keep checking, they change daily! Just remember, you have to order all the bands for everyone who wants one at the same time. One person can't order one and then a few weeks later, try to go back and order another one from the same reservation. If you have another reservation, then you can.

Good to know! That means I need 3 they everyone wants available at the same time. Should be fun. Haha

That's what I hate about that system. Since there will be a great one for one person but not for the rest of the party. So you wait and then that good one is gone.

Exactly! I found out the hard way you have to buy for everyone at the same time. Fortunately I had a split stay so all was not lost!

Glad to know this! Do you know what happens if you pre-order the bands, but then switch the resort on your reservation? Right now we are booked at All Star Music, but if a future room discount drops we may upgrade to a moderate.

Good question! I know if you order MB's for the All Star reservation, they will work for any changes of resort you make as long as they are all in your MDE account. I think it might depend on how they change your current reservation, if it's modified, I don't think you will be able to order more. If it is cancelled and rebooked, then you should be able to buy new MB's under the new reservation.

The bands will still ship and I’m assuming you’re asking about changing resorts after you’ve ordered your MBs? I think the MBs come already assigned to the person and should be active in MDE. It shouldn’t matter if you switch resorts as long as your MB is active. I take a couple MBs with me (in case I lose one).

I do the same! I lost my favorite one a few years ago, the resort actually gave me a replacement one. It was the old plain gray one, but at least it worked and I was grateful they gave it to me and didn't charge for it. Now I always bring more than one!

Same here! Our five year old lost hers within MINUTES of leaving the resort on our first day a few years ago. We learned the lesson to always bring a back-up and to use the little locks they make to keep the bands fastened.
I do wish they'd allow us to make multiple purchases for our trip for the same reasons mentioned above. There's a great one I'd like for myself offered now, but I'm holding out for a Donald/Three Caballeros one for my husband. Good to know availability changes often!

The band holders (I forget what they are actually called) are definitely helpful, especially with the newer MB's. I read on the Boards about them and bought some on Amazon. Good thing I did because the first time I wore the new version of the MB, it fell off in about 5 minutes (I had not used the holder thing but had one with me). Fortunately I noticed it came off and then used the holder to keep it secure. I ended up giving a few away to other people on that trip because I saw one fall off a person and then heard another group talking about their bands falling off.

I saw the three caballeros one on shopdisney but I haven’t seen it offered at a discount associated with a hotel stay yet. I’ve been watching them.

I also got the orange.

The little bands are called BitBelts and they work amazing!! At least 3 times I’d notice that my MB+ unsnapped but the BitBelt did its job and kept the man on my wrist.

Thank you! I could not for the life of me remember what they are called! Of course I could have checked my Amazon account... The BitBelt has definitely saved my MB+ more than once. The old version never seemed to pop off, but the MB+ - all the time!

Totally THIS!!

Thanks for the suggestion, I ordered for our entire family.

Smart! Better to pay less than $1 to not lose, at minimum, a $25 MB. Mine have paid for themselves! Like I mentioned, I brought some to the parks with me not realizing they were in my bag. Ended up giving a few away because I saw one band fall off a person & then heard another person talking about theirs falling off. People were so appreciative of such a small thing, it was nice!
